D 5 G XL Blade Pitch Adjustment ?

w38571 · 2016-02-05 18:45

On a 5G, the Pitch Adjustment has worked loose. Cat calls for 50 to 55% adjustment. Is that 55% off the blade at a Ninety Degree ? That seems tilted far back. I hope some smarter than me can answer what is the correct blade/pitch adjustment, for best cutting.

    If you pitch it forward, it will cut better. If you pitch it back, it will carry more dirt.

    90* would be a 45% or is that what your asking...

    Vertical is what I'm calling 90%,

    It'll pitch farther forward than that, something like 75°
